School Climate

EFFECTIVE TEACHINGWhile I was observing at Charles Henderson Middle School I saw a great number of characteristics in each teacher that made up effective teachers. They all showed respect to their students, got involved in class, gave equal opportunity and monitored there students learning.

What I noticed about the first teachers was that she showed a lot of respect to her students and I think this is why her students showed her a great amount of respect back. Event thought she had complete authority over the students she still respected them as if she did not. Another effective trait I admired about her was that instead of teaching and giving orders to the students she actually got involved and participated in the aerobic with the girls. This is very effective because I think I motivates the children to participate more in class when they see their teacher involved.

The second teacher I observed had the characteristics I think I will have when I become a teacher. One was that he stood at the door of the gym and greeted all the students as they came in class. This may not seem much to some but I thought it was amazing. He also started class immediately. He did not believe in wasting time. He also expected a lot from his students that why I think that he made the boys run when they begin to get disruptive. That was also another effective teaching trait which was discipline. He did believe in disciplining the students when they got out of hand. He clearly had some rules established and when the students broke them they had to pay the consequences. One last effective trait this teacher possessed was his credibility. When I went into his office it was like walking into a mini hall of fame. He had all kind of pictures and trophies up from when he was a athlete. He displayed all his award proudly and with pride. I think this is effective because it could influence one of his students to become a teacher one day.

...Climate Change in Developing Countries
Over the past decade, human activity has started to cause an increased rate of negative change to our climate. Although climate change is a worldwide problem no one will feel the impact as harshly as third world countries such many parts of Africa, Asia, and South America. These countries are estimated to be hit the hardest by climate change even though they did the least to cause it. Developing countries have been struggling over the past few years on their own, and now with the effects of climate change increasing those countries are starting to run into serious problems. Every year, natural disasters result in 60,000 deaths, mainly in developing countries (World). These problems are only predicted to become worst over the next decade. These issues will undo some of their previous developmental progress and cripple their ability to further develop. Other issues include the loss of large amounts of cash crops, increase of disease spread, and rising water scarcity which will also cause an extreme decline in third world economies and future development. The changing climate on Earth will have a devastating impact on less developed countries because of a lack of food production, physical destruction and health problems, and damage to the economy.
One major issue for of developing countries that will be tremendously impacted is food production. Most...

Weather and Climate
Weather is the day-to-day condition of Earth's atmosphere at a particular time and place.
Climate refers to the average year-after-year conditions of temperature and precipitation in a particular region.
Both climate and weather are dynamic – they change with time.
Weather & Climate Definitions
Weather- “the state of the atmosphere with respect to heat or cold, wetness or dryness, calm or storm, clearness or cloudiness”.
Climate – “the average course or condition of the weather at a place usually over a period of years as exhibited by temperature, wind velocity, and precipitation”
Main points to remember as we learn about weather:
The sun warms the earth’s surface and therefore all the air above the surface
The earth is warmed most at the equator and least at the poles---why?
The air above land is warmed more quickly than air above water.
Warm air expands and rises, creating an area of low pressure; cold air is dense and sinks, creating an area of high pressure
Factors affecting weather:
Temperature

Relative humidity

...TUNDRA CLIMATE
The tundra biome is characterized by extremely cold temperatures and treeless, frozen landscapes. There are two types of tundra, the arctic tundra and the alpine tundra .
ARCTIC TUNDRA
The arctic tundra is located in the extreme northern hemisphere around the North Pole. This area experiences low amounts of precipitation and extremely cold temperatures for most of the year. The arctic tundra typically receives less than 10 inches of precipitation per year (mostly in the form of snow) with temperatures averaging below minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit in winter. In summer, the sun remains in the sky during the day and night. Summer temperatures average between 35-55 degrees Fahrenheit.
Alpine tundra
The alpine tundra biome is also a cold climate region with temperatures averaging below freezing at night. This area receives more precipitation throughout the year than the arctic tundra. The average annual precipitation is around 20 inches. Most of this precipitation is in the form of snow. The alpine tundra is also a very windy area. Strong winds blow at speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour.

THE KENYAN CLIMATE
INTRODUCTION
Kenya lies across the equator on the East of the African continent. Neighboring countries are Ethiopia to the north, Somalia to the east, Tanzania to the south, Uganda to west and Sudan to the north-west. Kenyan enjoys a tropical climate. However, the climate differs on the time and season of the year and the region, in a complicated and quite unpredictable way. This varies with the altitude above sea level widely spread throughout the year. It is hot and humidity at the coast, while in the inland and highland of lake Victoria and its surroundings its temperatures are high with plenty rains, moisture and very dry in the north and north- east parts of the country.
The average annual temperature for the coastal town of Mombasa (altitude 17metres) 310 c (degrees Celsius) which is 880 f (degrees Fahrenheit’s) maximum between the month of January and February and 27 0 c (degrees Celsius) which is 810 f (degrees Fahrenheit’s) minimum between the month of July and August with rainfall of about 300mm. Nairobi the capital city with (altitude of 1,661metres above sea level) where most tourist fly, but where they usually

...Climate change
Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions, or in the distribution of weather around the average conditions (i.e., more or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change is caused by factors that include oceanic processes (such as oceanic circulation), variations in solar radiation received by Earth, plate tectonics and volcanic eruptions, and human-induced alterations of the natural world; these latter effects are currently causing global warming, and "climate change" is often used to describe human-specific impacts.

You may have noticed something peculiar about South America and Africa on a map of the world - don't they seem to fit into each other like pieces in a jigsaw puzzle?
About 200 million years ago they were joined together! Scientists believe that back then, the earth was not as we see it today, but the continents were all part of one large landmass. Proof of this comes from the similarity between plant and animal fossils and broad belts of rocks found on the eastern coastline of South America and western coastline of Africa, which are now widely separated by the Atlantic Ocean. The discovery of fossils of tropical plants (in the form of coal...

WHAT IS CLIMATE?
Have you ever wondered why one area of the world is a desert, another a grassland, and another a rainforest? Why are there different forests and deserts, and why are there different types of life in each area?
It is because of Climate.
Climate is the characteristic condition of the atmosphere near the earth's surface at a certain place on earth. It is the long-term weather of that area (for at least 30 years). This includes the region's general pattern of weather conditions, seasons and weather extremes like hurricanes, droughts, or rainy periods.
Weather is the day-to-day meteorological conditions, temperature, cloudiness, and rainfall, affecting a specific place. Weather on Earth occurs primarily in the troposphere, or lower atmosphere, and is driven by energy from the Sun and the rotation of the Earth. The average weather conditions of a region over time are used to define a region's climate.
Factors Affecting the
Climate of an Area
1. Sun
It is the source of all heat. The more sunlight there is, the hotter it is. Places near the equator is much hotter than those who are far from the equator. Based on research, this is because places near the equator are vertically hit by the sun’s rays , unlike places far from the equator. The earth is rotating around the sun called Revolution. This revolution affects the different seasons experienced by some places in the world. If...

Environmental Issues
Everyone talks about climate change and how the Earth is slowly deteriorating, but no one seems to have specific examples. In Linnea Saukko’s “How to Poison the Earth,” she does use specific examples of what is causing climate change. She uses satire with a hint of sarcasm in her essay. She gives the reader specific examples of how to poison the Earth, but not really wanting to poison the Earth. Gretel Ehrlich writes her essay, “Chronicles of Ice,” a little differently. She uses personal experiences of visiting a glacier and the way that it is falling apart to explain climate change. She uses detailed, sensory description to explain what is happening to the glaciers that are so important to us. However, in Atul Gawande’s essay, “The Cancer Cluster Myth,” he uses a different approach. He uses the physical health of the people in our nation to draw the attention of the reader to the subject, however he does not get very specific with how exactly climate change is affecting us. Saukko’s essay had more of an initial impact when reading it. She did very well at explaining exactly what is causing climate change and how it affects us. On a personal level, Saukko hit the deepest. She made me realize what our Earth is actually going through and how not only as individuals, but as the world as a whole, we are...
